"So, the Boat Your Toys Are On? It Might Be a Little Late."

By superdave, in X-Wing

The Scum expansions were listed as "On the Boat" in mid-December which, if a six-week Pacific crossing is reasonable, means they should be arriving in the US around the beginning of February (plus additional time for shipping and processing by wholesalers and retailers, etc.). However, with the WizKids' release date update, I wonder if we should add a similar two-week extension to our expectations for the next X-Wave? Just a thought.

It's okay. They can just divert the boat to the East Co- oh, right.

The longer they take, the more time I have to find a job so i can actually pay for them. :P

Honestly with the release of Armada being at about the same time, I actually am hoping that it takes just a bit longer so I can actually pay for the ships I want.

Im eager to dive in, but being still new to some of this, I could wait lol. I say, take the jedi path...

sit in front of a door until it opens, and hope that when it does, your not welcomed to an empty stock...(or a dead Qui Gon)

Guys stop. It's on camel back through the silk road

West coast labor issues aren't resolved yet either keep in mind.

Feds are down here mediating...but no progress that I have heard of yet...

I'd be surprised whether the shopping delays affecting Scum don't have the same effect on Armada, or any other FFG product line.

"On the Boat" probably means that it's been handed over to the shipping company, not that it's actually shipped on an actual ship.

As has been mentioned time and again, international shipping is far more of an art than a science.

They'll be here when they're here.

They are never early, they are never late they always arrive exactly when they mean to

I ordered my Wave 5 with some Wave 6 pre-orders and they won't ship them until it all comes in. So, I can't even get Wave 5 stuff!

It would actually be interesting to learn more precise details about the logistics of it all - not because it'll make anything arrive any faster, but just as a notion of the paths our toys travel to get to us.

I do know that if you can get the name of a ship there are websites you can use to track its progress.

I would not be surprised to find that the boat had been raided or sabotaged by the Han & Dash duo

Alright. Who is Eating The'Boat and slowing it down?

Don't worry about our new toys, they're in good hands.

The captain of the cargo ship has a copy of the game, and he loves it! He and his crew play all the time.

Unfortunately, they're in the middle of a game right now - they'll head to port just as soon as the captain finishes his barrel roll.

"I thought I could ignore the effect of stopping on an obstacle!"

My UK local store are expecting S&V in two weeks. They are usually pretty accurate with their predictions.

They have been about a day out either way at the most every previous prediction they have made on new stock

It's nice of Wizards to update their customers like that. I'd like to have up to date info from FFG, just for my own curiosity. That's not a complaint that they don't do that, just a request.

Yeah, a lil more PA would be nice. :P

Of course, if you wanted that kind of service, you could play Attack Wing. We have the kind of service that replaces busted-up ships with few questions asked.

Wait, I think it's in the contract of American privilege that we get our toys first.

There's our problem. If you look closely you can see that he's using hias roll to move backward, and that guy's been placing 1 straights all game. **** slow playing boat captains.
